Even though the Chelsea Hotel was good enough for Edie Sedgwick it wasn't good enough to host the book launch party for "Edie: Girl on Fire". Instead, the party was held at the Gramercy Park Hotel, an "elegant and refined setting served as a modern day Max's Kansas City..." Where is the modern day Edie to set fire to that fancy hotel?
From our blogging perch in the stairwell we have learned that the book has a glaring omission. While it has ample quotes from Rene Richard it doesn't have any pictures of Edie's former co-star. Come on, Rene was book hot in 1965 and starred along side Edie in "Kitchen" and "The Andy Warhol Story." So reprint that book!
The article about the book party goes on to report that Edie... "pretty much directed all of the Warhol films that she was in..." That's a surprise to us we didn't think anybody directed any of Warhols' films. We thougth he just turned the camera on and let it run.
